What I learnt from attending SLD's AI Trends Webinar

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, staying on top of trends becomes even more imperative with AI in the picture.

In August, She Loves Data hosted its first global webinar for AI trends: She Loves AI: What’s Trending. Aishwarya Ramakrishnan, Director of the technology banking and financial industry, and Nickey Khemchandani, Founder of Collective Global and BSD Education, provided fresh takes on the latest trending AI tools, and live demos on how they use them in their personal life. They delved into what the hype about AI is, how to stay on top of AI tools and trends, and how AI will continue to impact daily life.

The session followed a conversational format with back-and-forth Q&A session. What kept it super engaging was that the same questions were answered by the audience to drive interactivity. As a participant myself, I loved this format as it gave great insights into the tools that were also top of mind for the rest of the participants.

Sharing some of my favorite takeaways from the session below:

1. AI will not replace but create jobs – jobs for those who are skilled to use AI (AI + people)

2. Two most popular tools for marketers are make.com and n8n

Make.com is a visual, no-code automation platform known for its extreme power and flexibility, allowing marketers to build complex, multi-step workflows.

Best For: Marketers who need to create intricate, customized logic for processes like lead nurturing, data synchronization, and cross-platform reporting by connecting thousands of apps with its robust drag-and-drop editor.

n8n is an open-source and self-hostable workflow automation tool that appeals to users who want maximum control, customization, and cost-efficiency, often bypassing the task limits of other platforms.

Best For: Technical marketers, developers, and agencies who prioritize data privacy, building modular AI agents, and integrating with custom or internal APIs

Two other tools I learnt about through this session that I’m looking forward to exploring myself are: HeyGen, and Lovable.

o HeyGen: AI video generation platform that allows users to instantly create high-quality, professional videos using realistic AI avatars and text-to-speech technology.

o Lovable: AI-powered platform for developers and non-developers to create full-stack websites and web applications simply by describing them using natural language

Ready to see these tools in action?

I’m currently experimenting with HeyGen and Lovable to build a few small projects. Subscribe to our newsletter (via the top navigation bar on our website) or follow us on LinkedIn to get notified when I post the deep-dive reviews and share exactly what I’ve built and learnt! 🙂
